I ve used something similar to BM2ilabs s answer in the past to style the tick in checkboxes  This technique uses only a single pseudo element so it preserves the semantic HTML and there is no reason for additional HTML elements    x000D   x000D  label   x000D    cursor  pointer  x000D    x000D   x000D  input type  checkbox     x000D    position  relative  x000D    top  2px  x000D    box-sizing  content-box  x000D    width  14px  x000D    height  14px  x000D    margin  0 5px 0 0  x000D    cursor  pointer  x000D    -webkit-appearance  none  x000D    border-radius  2px  x000D    background-color   fff  x000D    border  1px solid  b7b7b7  x000D    x000D   x000D  input type  checkbox   before   x000D    content      x000D    display  block  x000D    x000D   x000D  input type  checkbox   checked before   x000D    width  4px  x000D    height  9px  x000D    margin  0px 4px  x000D    border-bottom  2px solid  115c80  x000D    border-right  2px solid  115c80  x000D    transform  rotate 45deg   x000D    x000D   lt label gt  x000D     lt input type  checkbox  name  check-1  value  Label  gt Label x000D   lt  label gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

An additional solution  for when you only have one of the  before    after psuedo-elements available  is described here   after-Checkbox using borders   It basically uses the border-bottom and border-right properties to create the checkbox  and then rotates the mirrored L using transform  Example   x000D   x000D  li   x000D    position  relative     necessary for positioning the  after    x000D    x000D   x000D  li done   x000D    list-style  none     remove normal bullet for done items    x000D    x000D   x000D  li done after   x000D    content      x000D    background-color  transparent  x000D     x000D       position the checkbox    x000D    position  absolute  x000D    left  -16px  x000D    top  0px  x000D   x000D       setting the checkbox    x000D         short arm    x000D    width  5px  x000D    border-bottom  3px solid  4D7C2A  x000D         long arm    x000D    height  11px  x000D    border-right  3px solid  4D7C2A  x000D     x000D       rotate the mirrored L to make it a checkbox    x000D    transform  rotate 45deg   x000D      -o-transform  rotate 45deg   x000D      -ms-transform  rotate 45deg   x000D      -webkit-transform  rotate 45deg   x000D    x000D  To do  x000D   lt ul gt  x000D     lt li class  done  gt Great stuff lt  li gt  x000D     lt li class  done  gt Easy stuff lt  li gt  x000D     lt li gt Difficult stuff lt  li gt  x000D   lt  ul gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

I suggest to use a tick symbol not draw it  Or use webfonts which are free for example  fontello dot com You can than replace the tick symbol with a web font glyph   Lists  ul  padding  0   li  list-style  none  li before     display inline-block    vertical-align  top    line-height  1em    width  1em    height 1em    margin-right  0 3em    text-align  center    content         color   999      See here  http   jsfiddle net hpmW7 3   Checkboxes  You even have web fonts with tick symbol glyphs and CSS 3 animations  For IE8 you would need to apply a polyfill since it does not understand  checked   input type  checkbox       clip  rect 1px  1px  1px  1px     left  -9999px    position  absolute  important    label before  input type  checkbox   checked   label before     content       display inline-block    vertical-align  top    line-height  1em    border  1px solid  999    border-radius  0 3em    width  1em    height 1em    margin-right  0 3em    text-align  center    input type  checkbox   checked   label before     content         color  green      See the JS fiddle  http   jsfiddle net VzvFE 37
